There is only one EF-S lens that would be worth the hassle of a modification and that is the 60 EF-S macro, which I have and is the reason why I will always have a APS-C Canon camera (for my work).
All other EF-S can be sighlessly put into oblivion (but I think this of 90% of all Canon autofocus lenses so I am a slightly biased opinion source  )

I take it you haven't used the 17-55 2.8 IS lense Orio. This would be L glass except they don't designate any EF-S lenses L. I have used the M/F lensese enough, now, to have a pretty good idea whats good. It also cost $1000. I long before I got into M/F got rid of poor focus A/F lenses.
I love the M/F lenses, but can't bring myself to say anything bad about lenses that work for me everytime. Funny, before I got the flek and yashica I didn't think anything could equal these $1000 and $1000+ lenses.

Now you could also consider the new Nikon 60mm AF-S ED N macro

About the Canon EF-S lenses, they could be used easily on a FF camera if there was an option in the software to only refer to a central area of the large sensor. |
Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-S_lens_mount is written that "...Canon designers have taken steps to ensure it is physically impossible to mount EF-S lenses on EF-only cameras. This is because the increased proximity of the lens to the sensor means that on full-frame sensor or 35mm film EF cameras the lens itself would obstruct the mirror's movement and cause damage to the lens and/or camera." |
It's easy to remove the obstructing piece on the back of the EF-S 18-55 lens to use it on EF-only (but APS-C) bodies. There are quite a few bodies that it works with. There's a site about it out there.

@Peter.
The rear element of the EF-S kit lens protrudes about 3mm to the rear - whether this would hit the 5D's mirror, I don't know. If it didn't, it would be easy enough to take a shot and crop to suit. I suspect it will hit the mirror, though.

Yes. It's the only AF lens that I know I will never sell.

I don't know. I used to have the previous version AF AIS, but I was not happy with it. It has an amount of distortion that I find not acceptable in a macro lens. When I was shooting Nikon, I ended up always using the AF 50/1.8 instead, which was perfect. So I sold the macro. Now someone in Portugal owns it.
